- Juliana de Beleknapp (Belknap), wife of Robert de Beleknapp (Belknap).
- Name(s)
- de Beleknapp (Belknap), Juliana
- Addressees
- King and council.
- Nature of request
- Juliana, wife of Robert de Beleknapp, states that her husband has lost all his possessions and been banished, leaving her and five children in England, and that he has nothing to live on except an annuity of £40 from his former lands. Now these have mostly been sold, and she cannot raise this annuity. She requests a inquiry into the sale of these lands, and that certain lands, entailed on the heirs of Robert's body, and others which she holds jointly with him, to the value of that sum, might be reserved and granted to her in wardship for the term of Robert's life, in compensation for the annuity. She also requests £10 worth of tenements of her inheritance, for her sustenance and that of her children.
- Nature of endorsement
- The King wills that the wives and other relatives of those who were justices and banished and are now in Ireland are to have at farm the lands and tenements which belonged to the said justices and have not been sold, up to the sum which is ordained by parliament for the sustenance of the same justices, notwithstanding any letter patent made to any other, to have the aforesaid lands and tenements at farm. And those who will have the said lands and tenements at farm in this way are to have an allowance in their farm for the aforesaid sums. And if the said unsold lands and tenements are not sufficient for such sums, the King wills that a fixed appointment and assignment might be made by his council as to how and in what way, and where and in what place, the said former justices, and each of them, may have good and swift payment of the sums assigned to them in this way by the said parliament for their sustenance.
